The paper deals with a physical model for the calculation of the strip temperature in a hot rolling mill. Beside the heat transfer from the strip to the environment in the different mill sections a sub‐model for the material properties of steel including phase transitions is introduced. For the application in a process automation system an online adaptation of the model to the current state of the mill is indispensable. The adaptation is explained in detail.
